Is there a property such as 'Ticks' for colorbars?

Hi,

I wonder if there is a property such as 'Ticks' or 'TickLabels' for colorbars. Because MATLAB says:

Error using colorbar (line 192)
Unknown property 'Ticks'.

Despite I got that error in the link below, it seems possible to use 'Ticks' property.

Why I cannot use this property with MATLAB 2014a?

Doc says

    h = colorbar(___) returns the colorbar object. Use h to set
    properties of the colorbar after it is created.

    Note:   Starting in R2014b, the colorbar function returns a colorbar 
    object. In previous releases it returns an axes object.

AFAIK: With R2014a it should be possible, if you have not activated HG2.

I found my answer on help, I think it may be a version difference.

Because colorbar in MATLAB 2014a has 'YTick' property instead of 'Ticks' and it is just the same in execution.

Yeah, in R2014a a colourbar is effectively an axes. In R2014b it is its own class type.
